MUST GET EIGHT TO WORK. Fair Ko Time to be Lost by the World’i Committee. The representation of Georgia at the World’s Fair is now with the people. Colonel Charlton H. Way, one of the two World's Fair commissioners from Georgta, says there is no time to be lost and whatevor is done by tho committee appointed by the Macon convention, will have to be done without delay. Unless the space allotted to Georgia is occupied soon it will bo given to other states, and Georgia cannot well allow that to be dono. Colonel Way is ready to co-operato with the committee in se curing a representation at Chicago that will be a credit to the state. The com mittee, he says, will have to get to work quickly, aud the sooner the better. There Is much to be done, a large field to cover and little time to work in. The committee Is composed of the best men in Georgia and there is no reason, Col onel Way says, why they should not se cure through their Influence and efforts a state exhibit that will rival that of any other southern state.
